You know when you need a proper umbrella but also want it to look decent? This Blunt Classic is spot on. The black and white houndstooth pattern is just so good; it adds a bit of polish, even when it's absolutely chucking it down. It's one of those pieces that works with everything in your wardrobe, which is always a win. It's a Blunt, so it’s built to last. These are the ones that actually stand up to a bit of wind and don't just collapse on you. The canopy is generous too, so you actually stay dry. Honestly, it makes those drizzly, grey London days feel a little less, well, drizzly and grey.
